===File types overview suggestion=== | |||
I'd like to throw a general blueprint out there and see if there's any in agreement, or at least any who disagree. It concerns what we're doing with our modding-related articles on the wiki, which is generally One Big Mess right now. The basic principle behind these changes is simple: "groups things logically; present information clearly". | I'd like to throw a general blueprint out there and see if there's any in agreement, or at least any who disagree.

:::Actually, there's a way to get either kind of link depending on where the text is being transcluded: using an #if: statement in league with the <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki> variable. <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki> actually looks at which page the data appears on, not where it's transcluded from.

=== | ===BSL tutorial(s)=== | ||
Despite its relative simplicity, [[BSL]] is vastly underdocumented. Most of the stuff is well-known to experts, but designing a comprehensive guide that will get novice scripters started and keep them going requires didactic skills and ''lots'' of patience. There are a few programming language basics that someone ought to say a little about (like [[BSL:Functions|functions]] or [[BSL:Operators|operators]]). Long-term goals are: a cross-referenced set of mini-tutorials that document the functions and variables in a standalone way (see, e.g., [[ai2_allpassive]]); maybe a functional breakdown of an original script (see [[BSL:Tutorial/airport1_level_logic.bsl|HERE]]); and redirects so that typing the name of the variable/function in the Go/Search box leads to just the right place. | |||
== | ==Oni 2 and beyond...== | ||
Some fans use the wiki to write sequels, prequels, interquels (what may have happened to Konoko in the time gaps between the original chapters, e.g., between Chapter 12 and Chapter 13) or even paraquels (e.g., what was happening on the Syndicate side during Oni?). You can then list your work [[Oni2|HERE]]. Just be aware of the [[OniGalore:Copyrights|rights issues]] attendant with posting fan fics here. Also, plagiarism is not nice, but "Oni 2" can still be influenced by anime/cyberpunk/other references. See [[:Category:Oni 2 influences|HERE]] to review the influences so far, elaborate on them some more, or point out new ones. | |||
